Henry Ward Beecher Dead.

The great preacher was stricken with
appoleXy on Saturday evening, and
fingered in an unconscious, comotose
state till he died, on Tuesday at half
past nine O'Clock A. NJ, at his home in
Brooklyn.
Beecher was undoubtedly the greatest
pulpit orator Of his time. epurgen
and De Witt Talmage are great in their
line, but in beauty of expression and
wide sweep of thought Beecher was un-
approachabe. His life and preacAin-
made a great impress on the age in
which he lived, and the advance in i'll
tel.igent christianity has been most
marked in that period
In the zenith of his power the great
Plymouth Church preachers advanced
doctrines met with vehement protests.
denunciaions and abuse from that class
of divines and church workers who
drew all their knowledge, belief and
inspiration from the creeds and ex-
poundings of the early gropers after
truth, and who persstently turned
thei" eyes from the br ghter light before
them to search for truth by the flicker
ing rush lights of the past. But the
enlightened intelligence of the age, like
the incoming tide, bore up the blind
searchers from their moss grown rocks,
in spite of themselves, drowning out
their birthstone fires and lifting them
to higher plane. When Beecher be-
gan to battle against this superstition,
the birthstone match was the most DO
tent evangelizer used in the pulpit. but
at the present time sulphur is very lit
tie in use except among the more ig-
norant class, for spiritual publication

Cherry Hill, March Sth, 1873


Dear Printer:-I have been trying to find
time to write you short letter. l couldn't
believe your remarks ia your paragraph,
| feel something older than l did years ago
Your letter in the MIDLAND JOURNAL in
reference to the irregular attendance and
the failure in the aim of our schools. should
incite our tax payers to endeaver to keep op-
en- the entire year, and raise the standard
of higher schools, so children can not be
admitted without an examination. | smiled
100 when | read the teachers report way up
in the 80, but | have more confidence in
such grades from prblic echool than some
of our academies. If our academies are
nothing more than some of our public schools
and the studies no higher why not give the
public schools part of the appropriation?
The inclement weather has made many
feel that the ground hog is a deceiver, but
to day has the appearance offspring, ere
long moving day will he upon uy, few
changes in our town, save our pastor. Rev
G.. A. Hill will close his third year and
leaye us much regretted. Rumor says he
will find a field of labor in Centerville, as
the official board has asked for him. F. A.
H. O'Brien is spoken for the place, so You
see the Conference has the appointments
all mapped out; way will 60 the itinerancy
in few years, Methodist preachers will be
stationed. So the ministry must be men of
education, 1t will be as hard task to find
an appointment for many who are now in
the Conference, unless some out of the way ap
pointment may need some one to bungle up
the Gospel. The w. G. T. U. seems to be
taking nap, as every evening it should
have met was stormy, but when gentle
spring comes, it will revive and look to the
temperance class.
The Sunday school held its missionary
anniversary last Sunday evening, the total
amount raised at Cherry Hill being $9S 55
two mission schools not reported. All the
collections are up and the Rev. c. A. Hill, :,
will report for Cherry Hill, Well done!
Next Monday the 4th annual examina-
tion will begin at Cherry Hill Public
School All persons interested are invited
to be present. The entertainment was a
success PAILAs

Crystal Lodge Literary Society.

The Lodge was called to order by C. r., Walter
@. Passmore, in the chair. Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather and muddy condition
of the roads good attendance WAS present to en-
joy the literary exercises. After tina business of
the Lodge was disposed of the literary was
taken up with Ed. F. Brown in the chair fol-
lows: Select reader, Mrs. Martha Emery, VINO
read very pathetic piece in memory of our de-
ceased member DR.. A. H. Hewlett, entitled kiss
Him for His Mother" which was very appropriate
Miss NJ. Alice Mcclure also favored us with se-
lection entitled the "Sign Board, in her usual in
vigorating style, The editor of the Crystal
Fountain for some reason not pre- sent which
disappointment to those there. Referred
questions answered very well. The debate, Res.
THAT England should grant Home Rule to Ire
land" was debated on the atfir. by Messrs. E. L.
Harlan, E. Pusey Passmore and Eber $. Wilson.
and on the neg. by Messrs. NJ. E. Kirk, w c. Pass
more and W. P. Mahan. The neg. aoused the Ir
ishman pretty badly. The names OF Parnell, Glad.
stone and Blaine, figured very prominently in the
arguments OF the atfir despite the declarations of
the neg that their friendship tor the Irishman
was only policy on their part tor the sake of pop
ulrrity. The judges Messrs. Ankrim, Burns and
Jones could not agree on a verdict one of them be
ing afraid OF receiving an internal machine
through the mails from disgusted son of Erin
The decision tell on the Lodge which by stand
vote decided that the aft. had presented the best
argument. The critic Miss. Sale Barnes criticised
the proceedings in very independent fashion.
After the usual closing exercises Lodge adjourn
ed to meet in one Week.

What Use IS It =?
Communicated.

Communicated.
The editor of the Cecil Whig seems to
haye a special favoring for the vile, the pro
fame and the disgusting in spreading before
the public the details ofmurders, executions,
abductions and much other cast off garbage
Of the daily press.
If he was only exhibiting his own tastes
by his selections, we would let him enjoy
his savory mess in silence but he is educat-
ing the young in the same direction, to fur =
nish new criminals and poisoning the life
blood of society. Shame!
A correspondent sends US the
above asking us to publish, which we
do in order to make a few remarks
on the points involved. The obvious
answer to the above by the Whag and
every other newspaper is that the
public clamors for such "garDage,' -
and will not be denied. The large
dailies employ sensational reporters
to fix It up in the most taking shape.
They will not publish plain unvar-
nisned statement of those occurrences
and the paper which has the most
'thrilling' account of the garbage"
is the most largely sought after by
"bl ave and fair: the just and the un E
just" We set down the facts and
leave every one to do their own COM
menting.

The public pulse has been felt and this
is the verdict, that ''Uncle Johnny" has
had his loan paid off too fast (when he did
not want dollar ofit.) it wants no extrav-
agance or mismanagement but good solid
square improvement and no chance for a
law suit under "Alberts' cross questions
and manipulations.
Had the streets been cared for on this
plan since 1866 when the cars came to us,
had good double line of shade trees been
growing all this time from the depot to
town and along all the streets, had the
town kept all the improvements substantial
ly it would to day have been SO per cent
larger and property so per cent higher.

The South Bend Reversible Share
Plow.
A Nj EMBER.

This is the latest among good
plows just out. Birds have the only
South Bend Plows in this part of the
State This p.ow must be examined
by practical farmers to be properly
understood and its many points of
improvement over other plows seen.
Tie share is reversible. when one
side and point are worn dull, just
turn it over and you have new
share, and while the second point is
working the first is being worn sharp
n the bottom Of the turrow at the
heel of the plow, ready to reverse
and take the place OF new point in
other plows This reversing process
can be repeated till the iron of the
share is worn almost away, and the
share becomes too shot and stubhv
o pow. The Landslide has slotted
neel plate which receives friction al d
wear from the bottom of the furrow,
md when worn out can he replaced
by new piece, by which contrivance
the land side is pre-, erved; and by
raising or lowering this slotted shoe
r heel piece the suction and depth
of the plow can be regulated to cor
respond with the wear on the share.
The hand es raise and lower on
slotted benings to suit the hight of
the plowman. without interfering
with the working of the plow.
A new patent "shine jointer' is not
among the least Of the improvements
belonging to this remarkable plow.
This shine jolnter' shears off the top
OF the sod rom the moving furrow
turning il or trash which choke the
ordinary pow, u1der the furrow
The "joint"r'' is no' interfered with
by shifting the beam. but is attached
t. the share. We can't begin to
mention ali the n ce points and de-
vic which have been Incorporated
into the ma up OF this remarkable
plow, winch we conc ude, from a
prett close examination with
plowman's eye, make it one of the
best implements of the kind ever
invented. Go AMI see the South

The doctor had formed many acquain

Friend Ankrim:-We received letter
from DIR. Howlett's minister in Pomona.
California, this morning. The doctor re,
ceived his money on the 14th of Feb
from the bank by the hand of his friend, as
he was unable to go for it himself. On th,
morning of the 18th he was very sick. Th,
minister insisted on his remaining there un
til he improved some, but no; he said h,
wanted to go home to see his moth
er and friends before he died. He request
ed the minister to go to the depot for hi
ticket. He left the doctor sitting on
chair, but on his return he found him ly
ing on the bed corpse. He died withou
a struggle. They buried him nicely, with
quite large funeral attendance. His trunl
